Down
AgainThey're "winded in" at Stopover #6 in LaSalle County, IL,
where they arrived after yesterday's
terrific flight.
Our animated map (click
here) shows the progress so
far. See "In the Classroom" below for some fun!

Today's
Journal Question: Yesterday's
62.7 mile flight took one hour and twenty-one minutes.
How many miles per hour did they fly? (They had an initial 14 mph tailwind that
eventually
dropped off to 5mph, so that helped!)
How do the pilots know the speed at which they are covering ground? Take a close
look
at the instrument panel to help you answer that question.
